Going out with our drivers really is a beautiful experience- so glad you enjoyed it. It's a privilege to see the work they do and the incredible people they deliver to. Thanks so much for your help 💚
I’m thrilled to share that Zoe Manson-Smith CA(SA), CFA and I recently organised a charity day at Ninety One in support of City Harvest London, an incredible organisation dedicated to redistributing surplus food to those in need across London. Our team had the privilege of directly contributing to City Harvest's mission, helping to ensure that perfectly good food reaches people who need it most, rather than going to waste. With every extra pair of hands, City Harvest can deliver more food to those most in need, having a multiplier effect on people, and the planet. A special shoutout to the wonderful staff at City Harvest, whose warmth and dedication made the day truly memorable. Their passion for the cause was inspiring and made our time there both impactful and enjoyable. This experience aligns perfectly with Ninety One's core value of Doing the Right Thing. At Ninety One, we believe in driving sustainability with substance—whether through our investment philosophy or by giving back to our community in meaningful ways. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this day a success! It's moments like these that remind us of the impact we can have when we come together for a greater cause. #NinetyOneGreen #Sustainability

Brilliant! #firstfiver - 20 meals - who's on board? Thanks Dan 🥳🏆
Understanding and helping you achieve your CSR and ESG goals while rescuing food, people and planet.
Finally found my King Charles #FirstFiver yesterday while on holiday. I am donating it to City Harvest London where it equals 20 meals for people in need. (In fact, with Gift Aid, it's 25 meals). Thanks as ever to the brilliant John Thompson who had the original #FirstFiver idea and reminded us to donate when King Charles appeared on our new fiver. If you could buy 20 meals for a fiver, you would wouldn't you? #FirstFiver #Equals #Food #Money #Time

Love must win ❤️ It's a bleak moment in the UK as race riots harass communities for simply existing. We stand in solidarity with these communities. Community, for us, is everything. Community is at the core of what we do at City Harvest, Our London community is made richer, more complete, and more powerful through its diversity and differences. Every person has a story, a dream, and a life, and makes a vital contribution to the society in which we live. Now, more than ever, our actions are more powerful than our words. Let's counteract hate and abuse by doing good. Do something for a loved one, help a neighbour in need, volunteer at your local community project. Show people that they are not alone, even when it might seem like it. Together we are so much stronger and can do much more good. If you need us, we will always be here, City Harvest exists for communities in need. #Community
